  1. 1. Dynamics of a CRAFT : A simulation study on a Counter Rotating vertical Axis Floating Tilting wind turbine

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Elektricitetslära

    Author : Benjamin Hedlund Peters; Linda Goude; [2023]
    Keywords : wind power; counter rotating; contra rotating; offshore wind; floating wind power; vertical axis wind turbine; VAWT; renewable energy;

    Abstract : In this thesis the Counter Rotating vertical Axis Floating Tilting wind turbine (CRAFT) has been explored by creating a simulation model in the program Simulink. The CRAFT prototype is a new type of wind turbine under development by World Wide Wind and Uppsala University with the aim to produce a large scale floating vertical axis wind turbine (VAWT) with two cone shaped counter rotating turbines.

  3. 3. Validation of CFD simulation with PIV measurements for Open Rotor Noise Predictions

    University essay from KTH/Mekanik

    Author : THOMAS JEAN BERNARD POMMIER; [2015]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : CROR means Contra--‐Rotating Open Rotor. Its efficiency is better than usual in aeronautics thanks to its geometry (open rotor and thus high bypass ratio) but also by adding a second rotor. Indeed it enables to recover the swirl loss of the first rotor. However, this engine is rarely used today in civil aviation for acoustic reasons. READ MORE

  4. 4. Energy Efficient Concept Aircraft.

    University essay from KTH/Farkost och flyg

    Author : Linus Flodin; Oscar Hag; [2012]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : A concept study for an environmentally friendly aircraft is made with the help of mathematical models. The aircraft has a capacity of 4 passengers and is powered by electrical engines and lithium-air batteries so that no greenhouse gases are emitted. READ MORE
